Ruislip September and October Meetings

September’s meeting revolved around both the importance of presentation and using less conventional media to ‘take’ photographs.

We debated whether or not we invest too much of our time either taking photographs or sitting in front of a PC adding layers, adjusting curves, dodging and burning and too little time in thinking about presentation. Currently, at least two of our members are investing time in frame-making to try to further ‘develop’ the character of their images. We’ve got one experienced frame-maker in our midst (Duncan Unsworth) and one, well, ‘newbie’ (Robert Davies). You can see both their work (pictures and frames that is) at the LIP Annual Exhibition.

We have a strong emerging flatbed scanner section too – using a scanner to take photographs with some interesting and rewarding results!

October’s meeting is going to take the form of a visit to the LIP Annual Exhibition on Sunday 27th October. After the exhibition we are planning either another exhibition visit or a short photographic excursion followed by the usual refreshments at a suitable pub. All LIP members are welcome, so if you’d like to join us, please contact Robert (see the satellite groups contact page).

About Satellite Groups

Small, informal groups meet around once a month. The structure, content, times, dates and frequency of meetings are all determined independently by each group for itself. Meetings may include guest presenters, reviews, exhibition planning, anything of interest to the group, but the core is supportive critique.

When joining LIP there is no need to choose the satellite group nearest home or work; the groups vary widely in character so we advise trying more than one to see which best suits you. Before attending for the first time we advise making contact with the group convenor. Contact details are given on this page.

New Satellite Groups

We hope to increase the number of satellite groups both to accommodate growing membership and to cater for a wide range of interests and approaches. Any member wanting to start a new group whether generalist or topic-based (see Active Satellite Groups opposite) should first discuss with a current group convenor and then contact either:
